This looked super cool! It looks like a really fun new game, and I think it has potential to become another Splatoon-like game. (definitely won't be as popular but I can see it having that somewhat broad multiplayer appeal and it's another straight up fun multiplayer game like Splatoon) I'm excited to see more of what it'll be like.

Wow, I really like how this game looks. Interesting concept, it has certainly gotten my attention. Also as much as I love Punch Out!!, I don't really see this as a replacement. This is a game I'm definitely willing to try.

My husband Jing said that this looked like 'Overwatch Splatoon boxing'. xD I kind of agree with him tbh. Personally fighting games have never been my thing, though this does look interesting at the very least.

One day soon I shall surpass you Luma, I the Queen of Zelda do declare it so!!

This is really interesting because it seemed like they were building the game around using the Joy-Cons. I'll probably still be using them with the motion control when I play the game because to me it seems natural. (unless it works better with button controls of course)

@PolarSpeaking of, the vibe I've been getting from this game is very Splatoon-like. I know I mentioned it in the OP, but I really do feel like it's another multiplayer game like that which could really catch on. I do wonder if this game exists partially because of Splatoon, being that it was the first AAA Nintendo IP in awhile, and it was so incredibly successful and is getting a sequel.

The following info comes from Nintendo's Kosuke Yabuki...- more characters than are currently revealed - some stages of destructible elements - special attacks can be guarded - special gauge fills up as you punch or get hitSource

I can see 5 more characters being playable for a total of 10 and it's nice to know that there will be stages that mix things up.

The following comes from a Splatoon 2 dev interview in Famitsu, as translated by NE...- initially choose from three arms in the final version of the game - this will change later on - the devs can't say whether you obtain new arms by defeating enemies, but likes the idea - Nintendo will make sure to polish game balance as much as possible - the devs also want to adjust it together with players in the long term - various modes with different types of gameplay aside from 1v1 matches - all modes can be played online - there is mode that can be played casually online and is there to make sure players can be matched with other players who have a similar skill level - the devs need a little more time to finish the gameSource

Every mode being online is great news since, I don't really have anyone to play the game with and I'm guessing each character will have at least 4 sets of different Arms.

Yeah I agree, I'm so happy you can play every mode online. I think the fact that online servers now use a subscription service is making Nintendo put online play in mind for the new games a bit more than they normally would have in the past.

The 2 on 2 battle announcement was unexpected and awesome, I'm excited to try it out. MinMin also looks like a fun character. I will say I expected more to be shown in the Direct but it does look like fun.
